I just heard of your passing. A wave of sadness and memory came over me. I remembered the good and trying times as we developed the business. The nights spent talking about the future. Of Jimmy, Paula Irving and Arline. May you be at peace.

Bobby was my Uncle by only 5 years, and my hero during my childhood. He was a very good athlete, warm hearted, and had a contagious smile.
I will always cherish my memories of him.❤
RIP Uncle Bobby ❤

We miss you Dad. Thinking of you during the happy times. The many Christmas Eves together, weekends at the Cape. I also remember your taking us to Storyland and other wonderful vacations. You did many good, kind and generous things for me and Steve. You were a fabulous grandpa to Amanda and Angie. They will always miss their Grandpa Bob XO. Stacey

Bob came to my shop for a better part of 10 years. I so admired the beautiful marriage that he & Arlene had. He always talked in glowing terms about her (and his children). I spoke to him after Arlene passed, & he was devastated beyond words. Bob was a decent guy with a terrific ability to find laughter in this world easily, & to make others laugh, as well. He was a joy!!!
The only solace is that he's with Arlene again.
I know his family will treasure & hold close the wealth of memories he gave you. Hopefully it will give you comfort.
